"At some level we want to know that what we do matters...We all want to be judged.  We want to be taken seriously as moral creatures...I am convinced that every human being has an existential need for significance...We have this need for significance. We do incredible things.  We go into medical research, we write books, we invent new patents to know we matter.  We also do terrible things.  People try to assassinate the president and commit other heinous crimes, just to know they have an impact on the world. Religion teaches that God cares about what you do."

Daily Thought

From Rosemary Lind, BYU Women's Conference April 27, 2011


Ideas for “Treasuring and Delighting” in the Scriptures
Rosemary Lind

There are lots of great ways to feast upon the scriptures each day, and if you are
like me, you have tried a lot of them. Have you noticed that scripture study is a lot
like physical exercise? It keeps your spirit in shape, just as exercise keeps your body
in shape. You choose a way of studying and it’s great for a while, but you will come to
a point where you realize you aren’t feeling the spirit as intensely as you were, and
you’re kind of at a lull in your study. Then it’s time to change it and find something
new.

Here are some ideas different people have found effective:

Set a time each day—don’t wait for time to do it, or it won’t happen. Protect
this time. Many people find that early morning or evening works best because
these are the times the phone doesn’t ring and the children are asleep.
Sometimes you can link it to other daily occurrences, such as the time your
children go down for a nap, during or after your exercise time, after breakfast,
etc.

Make scripture reading a priority and use time wisely. Many of us think we don’t
have time to read scriptures, but often we can find snatches of time while we are
waiting at the doctor’s office, in line at the DMV, waiting to pick up kids, etc. One of
my friends said she has discovered that sometimes she will finish a Facebook session
and realize that in the time she spent there, she could have had a great scripture
study session or even attended the temple! Watch out for distractions and set limits.
For example, I love reading, but I have a policy that I can’t read other things until I
have studied my scriptures.
Try to keep scriptures in your purse or car—many of us have them on our phones or
iPods. Before you check your e‐mail, check what the Lord’s message is to you today!

President Thomas S. Monson has said: “We become so caught up in the
busyness of our lives. Were we to step back, however, and take a good look at
what we're doing, we may find that we have immersed ourselves in the ‘thick
of thin things.’ In other words, too often we spend most of our time taking
care of the things which do not really matter much at all in the grand scheme
of things, neglecting those more important causes” (“What Have I Done for
Someone Today?” Ensign, November 2009).

Seek the spirit. Pray before you begin, for understanding and to know what the Lord
wants to communicate to you. Write down feelings and revelation you receive. My
friend told me a sweet story of a single mother who joined the Church. She didn’t
read very well, and though she was willing, she couldn’t get much out of the scriptures.
The missionaries suggested that she pray and ask the Lord for the ability
to understand what she was reading. As she did this, she was able not only to
understand, but also to enjoy and remember what she read.


Fast for further faith and understanding.

President Henry B. Eyring: “When I go to the scriptures asking to be taught,
then adding fasting helps tremendously…. Fasting and prayer work together
with scripture study, making it easier for the Lord to teach us” (“A Discussion
on Scripture Study,” Ensign, July 2005).

Brother David B. Marsh wrote: “When I first heard of the importance of studying
the scriptures, I didn’t really know how to study. I remember watching others find
uplifting insights in the scriptures while I struggled to understand what I was
reading. I labored just to get used to the language of the scriptures. I felt inadequate
and found myself dependent on others for scriptural insights. During those initial
efforts I could not always count on my daily study session to be a spiritual success.
However, I received great comfort and the courage to persevere in my personal
scripture study when I came across this insight from President Henry B. Eyring, given
when he served as Church Commissioner of Education: “That first exposure to the
scriptures is going to be hard. … It may be tough … because [you] won’t get great insights right away.

“While my first experiences were not as successful as I had hoped, over time and
with more practice, the number of uplifting discoveries and the moments of personal
revelation occurred more frequently, even daily. I experienced what President
Hinckley described when he said, ‘As you read, your minds will be enlightened and
your spirits will be lifted. At first it may seem tedious, but that will change into a
wondrous experience with thoughts and words of things divine’” (David B. Marsh,
"Getting the Most out of Your Scripture Study,” Ensign, February 2009, 32–34).

Look for answers to questions and problems.


Elder Henry B. Eyring said: “Going to the scriptures to learn what to do makes all the
difference. The Lord can teach us. When we come to a crisis in our life, such
as losing a child or spouse, we should go looking in the scriptures for specific
help. We will find answers in the scriptures. The Lord seemed to anticipate
all of our problems and all of our needs, and He put help in the scriptures for
us—if only we seek it” (“A Discussion on Scripture Study,” Ensign, July 2005).

My daughter, Emily, tries to read with questions in mind, such as: “How can I
become a more charitable person?” or a practical “Where should we make our
‘permanent’ home?” In this question, we see an example of finding an answer to a
question whose answer will not be in the words of the scriptures, but in the
inspiration granted through our obedience to diligent study. That is the magic of the
scriptures!

Read straight through. Most of us can testify of the power we found in the Book of
Mormon when President Hinckley asked all the members to read it. I loved that
experience, as I hadn’t read it straight through for a while. I have kept reading it
chapter by chapter along with my other scripture study because I love to read it that
way so much now.


When you get a new calling, search the scriptures for inspiration from the Lord on
how to accomplish his errand. For example, our daughter Emily marked an
inexpensive copy with these roles in mind: Mother (pink); Wife (green), her calling
(yellow) and daughter of God (orange).

Mark and color code specific things you want to remember, such as red for all the
scriptures about the Savior, blue for the ones on faith, green for references to the
temple, and so on (consider doing this in an inexpensive copy of the scriptures).

Study with Preach My Gospel (look up the scriptures, write in the margins), the
BYU syllabi from the religion courses, and gospel commentaries (recognize that
commentaries give us ideas to think about but are not substitutes for the
scriptures).

Choose a topic and look up all the scripture references about it. Share it with
your family in FHE or family scripture study. Husbands and wives can teach each
other, and children can teach in Family Home Evening or tell parents what they have
learned.

Switch standard works—different works touch us at various times of life and in
different circumstances. Reading them all helps develop our understanding of the
overall gospel plan and doctrine.

One of my college‐age friends says she likes to write a paraphrase of each chapter
as she reads. She also likes to write the scenes of scripture as plays or in novel
form.


Another suggestion is to write your inspiration on Post‐its; or write supporting quotes from modern prophets and stick them in your scriptures.

The Bible Dictionary is a wonderful help in understanding gospel principles.

Lds.org contains all the standard works, helps for studying, and places to write
comments and save them.

The website scriptures.byu.edu has the scriptures and general conference talks
that have been given about them. There is also an app for the iPhone and iPad that
does this (“Citation Index”).You click on a particular scripture, and the conference
talks they are mentioned in are listed. You click on the listed items, and you can read
the conference talks.

In a talk she gave in a stake women’s conference in California, Sister Laurel
Lawrence suggested that just as we prepare food storage, so should we store
spiritual food by committing scriptures to memory. She also recommended
studying the scriptures each day until we learn something new or are
motivated to do better in our lives.


Sister Julie B. Beck gives a great list of ideas:

     “The key was starting and doing it again and again. One good way to start
studying the scriptures is to ‘liken’ them to ourselves. Some people start by
choosing a subject in the Topical Guide that they need to know more about. Or
they start at the beginning of a book of scripture and look for specific teachings as
they read through.


    “For instance, when I was called to serve as a Young Women leader, I bought a
new set of scriptures, and as I read and marked those scriptures, I looked for
things that would help me in my calling. Sometimes I put colored pieces of
paper in my scriptures so I have quick access to topics or themes I am studying.
I have paper tabs in my scriptures for many of my favorite verses about
repentance and the Atonement so I can find them easily as I ponder during the

sacrament each week. I usually make notes about what I am learning. Sometimes I
keep those notes in my scriptures, and sometimes I write what I am learning in a
separate notebook.


     “Once in a while I invest in a new copy of the Book of Mormon. When I start
reading that new book, I make notes in the margins so I have a record of what I
am learning as I study. To help me remember what I am learning, I draw lines to
connect ideas. I shade verses and underline key words. When I find ideas that
relate to each other, I make a scripture chain to link those ideas (see “Scripture
Linking,” Teaching, No Greater Call [1999], 58). I like to think of my scriptures as a
workbook, so sometimes I record where I was when I gained an insight or the
name of the person who taught me.
That way the experience is refreshed in my
memory when I read that passage again.

     “Many of you study foreign languages. You might like to start reading the Book
of Mormon in another language. When you read the scriptures in another
language, you learn what the words mean in a new way.

   
     “Some people start by finding answers to their questions. They want to know
who they are and what they should be doing with their lives. A friend of mine
suggested that I start looking for questions that the Lord asks us in the
scriptures and ponder them.
Since then I have discovered many important
questions such as “What desirest thou?” “What think ye of Christ?”). I keep a
list of those questions in the back of my scriptures. I often choose one to think
about in quiet moments because pondering enlightens my mind that I ‘might
understand the scriptures.’ When I do not have my scriptures nearby, then I start
my study by reviewing teachings I have memorized. By reciting the Articles of
Faith or other verses to myself, I am able to keep them in my memory bank.

     “Whichever way a person starts studying the scriptures, the key to unlocking
important knowledge is to keep studying.
I never tire of discovering the rich
treasures of truth in the scriptures because they teach with ‘plainness, even as plain
as word can be.’ The scriptures testify of Christ. They tell us all things we should do.
They ‘make [us] wise unto salvation’” (“My Soul Delighteth in the Scriptures,”
Ensign, May 2004).

Quotes 


Commentary on The Sermon at the Temple:

"It is the Lord's blueprint for perfection...
  It is a revelation of Christ's character;
  [His] autobiography...."                                                            President Harold B. Lee



"...the knee - buckling sermon..."                                               Elder Jeffery R. Holland



"It is of burning-bush importance to all of us....As we accept this message, we are taking our personal stand in this life."
                                                                                                   Elder James E. Faust




How The Sermon at the Temple differs from The Sermon on the Mount:

"In Third Nephi, Jesus is speaking as God, with maximal authority.

The people at Bountiful all recognize and embrace Jesus as their Redeemer.

They are commanded to defer to new leaders and be bapitzed.

They know the law of Moses is fulfilled ... and the focus of moral behavior is on Jesus Christ himself."

                                                                      Grant Hardy, Understanding The Book of Mormon



“The apostolic and prophetic foundation of the Church was to bless in all times, but especially in times of adversity or danger, times when we might feel like children, confused or disoriented, perhaps a little fearful.  Against such times, the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve are commissioned by God and sustained by you as prophets, seers, and revelators…. In such days as we are now in, the storms of life ‘ shall have no power over you.’”
                                                                        Elder Jeffrey R. Holland










“The Beatitudes are not quiet, philosophical stars in a summer night. Rather, they are lightning bolts and thunderclaps of spiritual surprise!”    
                                                                                Elder Robert E. Wells




                                                    
                                                                      Christ Is the Way



“The Beatitudes [are] a recipe for righteousness with  incremental steps, beginning with the poor in spirit who come unto Christ.  The next step is to mourn, especially for our sins, for ‘godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation’”. 
                                                                               Elder Spencer J. Condie



"Blessed are the Meek"

"Meekness is more than self-restraint; it is the presentation of self in a posture of kindness and gentleness, reflecting certitude, strength, serenity, and a healthy self-esteem and self-control...


The meek think of more clever things to say than are said.  And it's just as well, for there is so much more cleverness in the world than wisdom, so much more sarcasm than idealism."

                                                                             Elder Neal A. Maxwell

“Hungering and thirsting translates to sheer spiritual labor….
 Spiritual work works!”                                     
                                                                              Sister Sherrie Dew
 


“A broken heart and a contrite spirit prescribes the need to be submissive, compliant, humble (that is teachable), and willingly obedient.”    
                                                                    

                                                                             Elder Richard G. Scott
 


“Let us do the best we can and try to improve each day.  When our imperfections appear, we can keep trying to correct them.  We can be more forgiving of flaws in ourselves and among those we love.  We can be comforted and forbearing.  The Lord taught, “Ye are not able to abide the presence of God now…; wherefore, continue in patience until ye are perfected.” 
                                    

                                                                            Elder Russell M. Nelson

Become a Light for All to See
President Thomas S. Monson - BYU,  November 1, 2011


“Our opportunities to shine are limitless. They surround us each day, in whatever circumstance we find ourselves,” President Thomas S. Monson said during a devotional at Brigham Young University on November 1, 2011.

Of the 50 definitions that the dictionary offers on “light,” President Monson said that his favorite definition is “something that illuminates.”

Speaking of the Savior and His Atonement, President Monson said that although members of the Church come from various backgrounds, “we have in common the gospel of Jesus Christ. … It is our responsibility to share the truth with others. … Ours is the responsibility to keep our lights bright for others to see and follow.”

But first, in order to become an example of the believers, President Monson said, we ourselves must believe.

 

Gain a Personal Testimony

Among the most effective ways to gain and keep the faith, President Monson said, is to read and study the scriptures and to pray consistently.

“Have you read the Book of Mormon? Have you put to the test the promise found in Moroni 10:4? Have you asked if the book is true?” President Monson said.

“Set aside time every day to find out for yourselves if the Book of Mormon is a true book, for it will change your heart and change your life,” President Monson said. “I promise that you will receive an answer.”

 

Become a Beacon of Righteousness

“As we follow the example of the Savior, ours will be the opportunity to be a light to all we meet,” President Monson said.

Speaking of those who reflect the light of righteousness, President Monson said that the special spirit felt around such people makes others want to associate with them and follow their example. “When we encounter them, they are a powerful influence, for they radiate the love of the Savior and help us feel His love for us.”

“You will become a beacon of righteousness, even a light for all to see. Said the Savior, ‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven,’ ” President Monson said.

 

Remember who you are

Referencing an exchange between Simba and his departed father, Mufasa, from Disney’s movie, “The Lion King,” President Monson said, “Look inside yourself. You are more than what you have become. Remember who you are.”

He continued by saying, “You are a son or daughter of our Heavenly Father.

You came from His presence to live on this earth for a season, and to live in such a way that you are an example of the believers and a true light to the world.”

“Just think of how much good can come to the world through our collective lights and let the gospel radiate through us,” President Monson said.

 

Seek God's Assistance

With the decline of religion in our society, President Monson noted that many people think they have no need for a higher power and do not hearken to the counsel of God. “They suppose they know it themselves,” President Monson said noting that it is easy to fall into erroneous thinking— that we can handle anything that comes our way and that we don’t need God’s assistance.

Remember, he said, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

He quoted the Apostle Paul, who admonished in 1 Timothy 4:12, “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity…”

President Monson concluded by saying, “May we always be known as followers of Christ and as such, become as lights in the world.”

Daily Scripture

Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

Quotes Diane Adair

 "We can let the events that surround us determine our actions - or we can personally take charge and rule our lives with pure religion.  Pure religion is learning the gospel of Jesus Christ and then putting it into action."
Marvin J. Ashton Ensign November 1982 p.63

"Surely it should give us to think of how casually we sometimes give to satan, who could not control his own ego in the pre-mortal world, such awful control over our egos here.  We often let the adversary do indirectly now what we refused to let him do directly then."
Neil A. Maxwell - We will Prove Here With p.45

"We are not expected to resist sin by will power and personal resolve alone... rather as we come to gain that life which is in Christ.  A life that comes as we seek for the spirit of the Lord - we receive the enabling power which extends to us the strength to forsake and overcome a power which we could not have generated on our own."
Robert C. Millet - The Only Sure Foundation p. 22

"One of the greatest mysteries of mortality is why mankind fails to learn from history."
L. Tom Perry - Ensign, November 1992 p.16

"What if the day of His coming were tomorrow?  If we knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow what would we do today?  What confessions would we make?  What practices would we discontinue?  What forgiveness would we extend?  What testimonies would we bear?  If we would do those things then, why not now?  Why not seek peace, while peace can be obtained."
Dallin H. Oaks - Ensign, May 2004

"Pride creates a noise within us which makes the quiet voice of the spirit hard to hear."
Henry B. Eyring - Ensign, November 2001 p.16

"A disciple of Christ is one who is learning to be like Christ.  Learning to think, feel and act as he does... No other disciple compares in either requirements or rewards.  It involves the total transformation of a person from the state of the natural man to that of a saint, one who loves the Lord and serves with all his heart, might, mind and strength."
